&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Although it can be painful or uncomfortable when talking or swallowing, sore throats are usually nothing to worry about. It goes away on its own, but complex treatment might be needed if it is caused by an uncommon case.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;Here&amp;rsquo;s everything you need to know about sore throats: their different causes, symptoms, and treatments.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: 400;&quot;&gt;There is also a chance, albeit uncommon, that you get a sore throat from a bacterial infection, usually from what we call Streptococcus pyogenes (or group A streptococcus). If this happens, it develops into strep throat, instead.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
